Many a times they whine about their work, their social conditions or culture or political conditions of their surroundings.
But until one is unable to understand and analyze himself correctly, until he is not able to understand his own worth and abilities, and accepts that correctly, he cannot be sure enough to look for the correct central purpose, his vital rationale towards his life.
Yes, I am surely talking of the very common people faces about their study-streams and/or jobs/business.
One can be a poet, an engineer, a doctor, a philosopher, a sweeper, a dancer, an actor, a musician, a singer, a professional corporate, a scientist, a professor, a teacher etc, there are many forms of work in today’s arena and since always there remained streams of work for the individuals in the society.
If one is unable to check and reason out his own potential, abilities, and usage then it is impossible for him to get to the right stream towards his life. The central purpose of the individual cannot be the kind of work he performs. The central purpose always remains to be happy! Moreover, happiness directly related with the honestly gained success for the individual. Monetary success alone cannot be the central purpose of the Individual, because even a single penny of which he is not worth of, and he do not deserves will make him feel uneasy. The success cannot be measured by the monetary status of a person. Success is rationally related with the satisfaction a person feels while performing his work and the proficiency the Individual performs his work. Work can be of any kind. Even a cobbler can achieve satisfaction and success in his work, and even a doctor may remain groping for satisfaction and success for himself. Those who differentiate individuals based on the work they perform are strictly irrational. The differentiation can only be as the proficient passionate honest hard worker, or lazy, unwilling corrupt worker. Every honest hard worker deserves monetary success, he gains it by virtue of his proficiency, and ability and that person only can enjoy the satisfaction and the happiness and further achieve it by involving in his work morally inspired by his own self.
The Vital Principle of the Individual helps him in integrating all the other concerns of his life. It provides a much-wanted chain of command for his own life by virtue of which he feels always pinpointed towards his objectivistic goals and reasonable, honest ways to attain his aims as achievements (Louis Braille is a great example of this fact). The central function provides him a system of relative importance of his own chosen values, that saves him from the futile inner conflicts, and that permits him to enjoy life on a extensive range and to carry that delight into any area available to his psyche.
A person without that Vital Principle of his own to generate satisfaction, success and hence happiness remains lost in bedlam. He does not know what his ideals are, and he has no proper system to judge his own values, duties, responsibilities and hence his rights. He just cannot be righteous and hence cannot be happy. . He neither can appreciate himself nor can explain what is important to him and that forces him to float helplessly at the mercy of any chance incentive or impulse of the instant.He cannot enjoy anything and hence, cannot be happy.
(Remembering the Poem by Subhash, “Woh Khoon Kaho Kis Matlab ka Jisme Jeevan na Rawani hai, Jo Parvash Hokar Beheta Hai, Wo Khoon Nahi Hai Paani Hai”)
The passion, the emotion an Individual feels are the automatic response an automatic effect of man’s value premises. The Individual who understands and analyses his emotions well, values his emotions properly as they are the perfect effects of his own chosen values. He very well knows about the reasons behind his emotions, accepts them, and respects them too. Moreover, if he somehow confronts a strange emotion, he do tries to discover the correct reason behind it before acting on it and making it a purpose. That is the characteristic of a Rishi. He cannot act on irrational emotions on unreasonable actions. He cannot act on anger or jealousy or even hunger irresponsibly. Any person, who keeps either, does not have any Vital Principle and values, or do not values them above all, cannot be honest, reasonable and just. He obviously will be corrupt. He will bargain his rational values; his work, for family, friendships, love-relations etc and that will cause corruption, nepotism, bribery, red-carpet system and other ills of society and hence will reach to instability. The full-Individual’s passion towards his own self-chosen values and principles and his passion towards his work only will inspire him to feel and enjoy the reasonable and ethically sound love-relations, friendship and family. Love and care are the expressions of sense of worth, of the earnest values of a man or woman’s character. No Sita can Love a Ravan, she can love a Ram only! I would like to present the vedic scholar Gargi about marriage again.
Gargi asked “What is the purpose of a marriage?” Yaajnavalkya replied, “To have progeny” Gargi said, “No the wife is one-half of the husband Ardhaangi. This means that she should pursue Dharma together with the husband as a Dharmapatni (a Righteous wife). Marriage is for the sake of pursuing Dharma. It is not for enjoying worldly pleasures. Our emperor enjoys carnal pleasures in his palace. Street dogs experience the same. Is that happiness? “
An Individual who understands the importance of his/her DHARMA, his/her values and Vital Principles, cannot get involved with a person who have no importance for the reasonable moralistic values.
By that, I do not mean to say that pre-marital affairs are wrong or sex and carnal pleasure is amoral in anyways. Nor I do mean to say that love is faulty. When a “full-individual” is in love, it means that the person he loves is of extreme selfish importance for him in his life. If the Individual would not be the righteous selfish person, it would mean that he desires and hence derives no personal satisfaction and happiness by being with the person he says he loves. The existence of that person for that selfless person would mean nothing and the relation will be motivated by only self-sacrificial pity for the person’s need of you. That cannot be love, though it can be some sort of debauched settlement or alteration, where the person you feel pity with sacrifices her self-worth and the individual sacrifices his selfish values-oriented pleasure. Love cannot be any kind of selfless relation; it cannot be any kind of sacrificial situation. Love is the most profound assertion of a full-individual’s own happiness, to derive which, he need the person he loves.
Ram did not go to Lanka to defeat Ravana for any cause of pity on Sita or for any cause of selfless and self-sacrificial issue. He fought against Ravana to attain the most-valued person of his life by being with whom, he was used to feel satisfied and happy and complete. ( I must say that I am talking of Valmiki Ramayana, according to which Ram, Sita and Ravana were simple Human beings, and there was no fire-test for Sita, and after returning from Lanka, Ram-Sita lived happily forever righteously. I am strictly not talking of any puranic version of Ramayana, the epical novel nor am I talking of RamCharitManas. )
Sex is virtuous, it is value-aided it is very important and most valued expression of self-worth. Sexual expressions and desires cannot lead to promiscuity. Sex is one of the most important aspects of man’s life and, therefore, must never be approached lightly or casually. It does not mean that sex is only a matter of married life. However, sex is only a matter of a serious-relationship. That relationship may or may not reach to marriage. That is dependent on circumstances and the context of the two person’s lives.
Many particles collide with each other, but only some possess the much-needed potential to make an atom, a Union of stability, satisfaction and happiness. For a perfect mating, the threshold barrier of self-worth and Vital-Principle of the two full-individuals must meet the necessity for the fusion. Only that person who understands his self-worth and potential and the importance of his Vital-Principles can understand the importance of an intimate relationship.
Sex is rational biological need; it is very rational just like hunger. An individual may feel hunger; any kind of biological need cannot be fulfilled without the proper usage of cognitive-approach. One must need to use his/her mind and his/her values and ital-Principles to understand, discover, and hence prepare the food to nourish him/her and satisfy. The Full-Individual discovers what is righteous and what is wrong for the fulfillment of his needs. His hunger cannot tell him how to satisfy the need. He has to use his brain for that. Moreover, the mind must be used properly based on the self-worth and principle values of the individual (DHARMA).
Love cannot be a gut feeling. In addition, no full individual can fall in any illusive infatuation. The person who understands his self-worth and values his Vital Principles can certainly not entangle with any other person who cannot understand the importance of it.
To lead an Individualistic selfish life, one needs to use his mind; it cannot be based on beliefs, but can only be based on reasons. The full individual cannot accept any idea or conviction unless he cannot demonstrate its truth by means of reason; he surely needs to be pragmatic.
